Ukrainian goes on trial over Nord Stream blasts
A Ukrainian former military officer went on trial in Germany accused of organising the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, the BBC, Guardian and France 24 reported. Serhii Kuznetsov denies involvement. The explosions badly damaged infrastructure that had carried Russian gas to Europe and remain a politically sensitive wartime case.
Why it matters
The trial could clarify responsibility for an attack that reshaped Europe’s energy security and strained wartime alliances.
